UPDATE: "Modern Family" repeats as Best Comedy while "Homeland" takes out "Mad Men's" quest for a record fifth Best Drama prize, as the Emmys just wrapped up in Los Angeles

In fact, it was a three-peat for "Modern Family" while HBO was the overall winner with 23, followed by CBS with 16.

Meanwhile, there were a few upsets, one being in the Comedy Actor category as Jon Cryer of "Two and a Half Men" won. Julia Louis-Dreyfuss and her win as Comedy Actress in "Veep" was also a surprise. Perhaps another one could be in the Miniseries/TV Movie category when "Game Change" won over "Hatfields and McCoys."

Two awards were won by familiar names, in their categories. "The Daily Show with Jon Stewart" nabbed its 10th Variety prize and "The Amazing Race" won Reality Competition. This is a category they have never lost.
